The International Space Station Turns 20 on November 20, 2018
The 20th Anniversary of the beginning of construction of the International Space Station (ISS) is a moment to celebrate. The first element of the International Space Station was successfully launched on November 20, 1998. It was an autonomous launch from Russia using a Proton rocket. This element was a control module named Zarya.
This was followed on December 4, 1998, by shuttle mission STS-88 which brought UNITY, the first of three nodes planned for the station.
The first crew was launched on July 12, 2000, and we have had a permanent human presence on station ever since!
Participate in the Celebration
Meet with a large presence of ISS partners such as NASA’s Destination Station and participate in an opening celebratory toast.
